Student-friendly Title: The Difficulties of Being a Leader
Rationale Statement: At some point in life, all students will be in a leadership position. After learning about two powerful leaders in world history: Tutankhamen and Suleiman, students will learn how each leader was influenced by the people around him, develop their own ideas about what makes a good and a bad leader, and apply these ideas to the lives.
Design at least two authentic assessments that address your topic: one formative and one summative:
Formative Authentic Assessment: Students write a letter from the point of view of either Tutankhamen's close acquaintances or Suleim's close acquaintances, describing the role that one person played in the life and rule of either leader. Students may choose to write from the point of view of the leader as well. The letter should include the following information:
The person's relationship to the leader.
One significant event that reflects this person's role in the leader's life.
How the person may have felt about the leader, or how the leader felt about the person.
The overall impact or influence the person had on the leader's rule.
The teacher will then read the letter and write back from the point of view of either the leader or the person who influenced that leader's life, creating a dialogue that offers information back to students in a way that enables the student to learn better and engage in self-reflective learning.
Summative Authentic Assessment: Students will create questions for a quest (a cross between a quiz and a test) and submit them to the teacher. After reviewing and editing the student questions, as well as adding several of the teacher's own questions (for example, vocabulary words), the teacher will create the quest and administer it to the students. While the majority of the quest will be inspired by the students' own questions, some sample questions are:
What is the difference between a pharoh and a sultan?
What does the word “vizier” mean?
In your own words, what makes a good leader?
